Question: Searching for a 17-18th!.!.to early 19th century story/book, that i read in high school!.!.!.!?
Its a Satirical book, and basically the plot is that of Gilligan's isle, just with magic!.!. I don't have the greatest memory of the book, it was written in old English!. I remember the start of the story starts off with a king(or some other noble)/his daughter, and various other important people on a boat leaving a wedding heading back to Britain or England(the daughter may or may not have been on the boat, she may have been the one getting married), or something !. When a Magician who had been previously exiled from society, summoned a fairy to sink the ship(the fairy was his slave)!. On the shores they find a beast(also a slave of the Magician)!. The magician had a daughter, who he keep locked in her room!.

I didn't really finish the book, so i can't give anymore details, but I'm looking for a particular quote about utopia that was in that story!.

I say story because at or around that time i had to read The Canterbury Tales, and it might have been one of the tales from that book!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
